Guest Posted May 10, 2005 Share Posted May 10, 2005 great sound but can anyone tell me how you tell the bootleg? cheers dan (mine is a JZSP stamped red columbia which i assume is proper?) link Is there one,dont think so! if you like this one try "keeps on raining" by Gwen,just about the same record but recorded in 1973,and about £10 its a bargain.

Guest rachel Posted May 10, 2005 Share Posted May 10, 2005 Not 100% sure but think boot has demo label but missing the 'A' on the label that original demo has...? Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Garethx Posted May 10, 2005 Share Posted May 10, 2005 Must say what a fantastic run of singles Gwen McCrae had on Columbia: "Lead Me On", "I'm Losing The Feeling", "Been So Long", "Ain't Nothing You Can Do" and "Always On My Mind" are all great examples of Miami Soul at its finest.

Garethx Posted May 10, 2005 Share Posted May 10, 2005 There tend to be lots of copies of this 45 on American record websites, just search under the Columbia label number; it was a Billboard top 100 pop hit: they're always much cheaper than at UK dealer prices.

Guest Posted May 10, 2005 Share Posted May 10, 2005 (edited) As much as i like Gwen McCraes version, i still think Bobby Blands original(?) is an awesome 45'. Edited May 10, 2005 by Brett Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Godzilla Posted May 10, 2005 Share Posted May 10, 2005 Stamped original without blue "A" link And here's another: Stamped, no blue 'A', vinyl not styrene, with artists name in vertical rather than horzizontal print. Same track both sides. It also has "reservice " written on top right of label. Maybe it was promoted a second time and they did another lot of radio station copies?

Garethx Posted May 13, 2005 Share Posted May 13, 2005 (edited) I was lucky enough to get the "Melody Of Life" album from Soul Bowl for £5 in the mid 80s: wonder how many copies they had?

Guest Posted May 16, 2005 Share Posted May 16, 2005 Is the boot a recent thing? There has been no northern demand for this record until fairly recently has there? Since it is pretty common it seems pointless to boot. There are many variations which I think are all originals, just different pressing runs and from different plants and so on.

Since it is pretty common it seems pointless to boot. There are many variations which I think are all originals, just different pressing runs and from different plants and so on. link I was thinking the same Christian. I was puzzled as to why it would have been booted i.e. large label, common etc. But because I'm stupid and normally get everything wrong, I decided not to raise that point. All still very interesting though, and love the tune. While we are on the subject, although slightly off-topic, did Ann Peebles cover 'I'm Gonna Tear Your Playhouse Down' using the same backing track? or was is slightly similar? May have been an unissued jobby through Kent? Jamie Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
